Live & Dangerous

Descripción

DESCRIPCIÓN DEL PRODUCTO Thin Lizzy's 1978 double album,* Live and Dangerous,* along with Kiss' Alive,* the Who's Live at Leeds,* and the Rolling Stones' Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out,* is one of the greatest live rock albums of all time. The band wisely hooked up with producer Tony Visconti,* again,* and although it's become known in later years that the tracks included extensive overdubbing,* many of the performances outshine the original studio versions. Except for a few tracks,* the majority of the material spans from 1974's Nightlife to 1977's Bad Reputation,* while the concerts were recorded during Thin Lizzy's last two major tours *(1976 and 1977). Few bands have ever matched the explosive energy that Lizzy creates on such tracks as *"Jailbreak",* *"Emerald",* *"Rosalie/Cowgirl's Song",* *"Don't Believe a Word",* *"Are You Ready" and *"Sha-La-La",* while their sing-along anthem *"The Boys Are Back in Town" proves even more vivacious in a live setting. The more serene material *-- *"Southbound" and *"Dancing in the Moonlight" *-- is just as gripping,* while the slow blues of *"Still in Love with You" contains two of the most heartfelt and lyrical guitar solos ever *(a trade-off between both Robertson and Gorham). Add to it such strong album cuts as *"Massacre",* *"Johnny the Fox Meets Jimmy the Weed",* *"Warrior",* *"Suicide",* and *"The Rocker",* and you have the ultimate Lizzy album. Live and Dangerous is a must-have for fans of powerful hard rock. *--Greg Prato,* All Music Guide
